This chapter introduces the framework and causal model of knowledge management, strategic orientation, organizational innovation, and organizational performance. It argues that dimensions of knowledge management, strategic orientation, and organizational innovation have mediated positive effects on organizational performance. Organizational innovation positively mediates the relationships between knowledge management and organizational performance and between strategic orientation and organizational performance. Knowledge management is positively correlated with strategic orientation. Furthermore, the author hopes that understanding the underlying assumptions and theoretical constructs of knowledge management, strategic orientation, organizational innovation, and organizational performance through the use of the framework and causal model will not only inform researchers of a better design for studying knowledge management, strategic orientation, organizational innovation, and organizational performance, but also assist in the understanding of intricate relationships between different factors.

Many tools and methods claim to be “innovative”. Most belong either to project management, engineering design or creativity approaches. “Innovation Management” literature usually discusses “success patterns” for Innovation based on case studies, but hardly process the comprehensive support of innovation activities. It seems that there is a strategic gap between traditional idea-realization processes that focus on reliable project management and the diffuse situation in ever faster changing environments with unclear opportunities and risks. To professionally reinforce strategic innovation activities it is necessary to define a resilient framework. This paper discusses a new view on the field of innovation that is based on the comprehensiveness of philosophy. Fundamental definitions of early philosophers on the interdependencies of the “co-evolution of the world” are applied to define an “Innovation Philosophy”. This is transformed into an “Innovation Strategy” that comprises a repeatable “Innovation Process” for guiding teams through Innovation Projects.

AbstractCorporate venture capital - the path to successfully developing new technologies? The changes brought about by the new technologies of the New Economy present both opportunities and threats for established companies and startups. There are various different concepts and forms of venture capital, such as traditional venture capital, corporate venture capital, and incubators, that can be used to finance the capital requirements that often go hand in hand with increased technological complexity. Many German firms have already recognized the potential of venture capital as a tool for developing new technologies and have set up their own corporate venture capital companies. However, these companies usually focus their investment in external startups that have already completed the seed phase and are in an expansion phase. This strategy does not go far enough, with numerous ideas from employees and external experts remaining unexploited. The paper presents a three-part organizational strategy - consisting of a CVC company, an incubator and a catalytic converter - that will help established companies utilize venture capital in the context of far-reaching strategic innovation management.
